Anthony Devas ARA RP (1911-1958) studied at the Slade School of Art in London 1927-30 where he met his wife artist Nicolette Macnamara. Devas primarily painted portraits, receiving many commissions, and he particularly like to paint children. He also painted flowers and was a keen gardener. He was a member of the Chelsea Art Club and wrote in the press on the art scene. He was associated with the Euston Road group although he didn't particularly identify himself with any group. Anthony Devas held one man shows at the Cooling Gallery, Wildenstein’s, Agnew’s, and the Leicester Galleries, as well as participating in numerous mixed exhibitions. From the early 1940s he was also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, to which he was elected in 1953. He died aged only 47 after several years of poor health. After his death Nicolette later married fellow Slade School student Rupert Shepherd.

Portrait of a Family in an Interior - British 1950's art oil painting
By Charles Ernest Cundall
Located in London, GB
This interesting British Post Impressionist figurative interior oil painting is by noted artist Charles Cundall and entitled A Conversation Piece. Painted circa 1955 the composition is the interior of a living room with a couple and their two young children, cat and dog. It is full of fascinating details such as the display of porcelain figures in the wall unit, The wonky lampshade on the piano with lovely reflections in its metal base, the slightly shabby walls, the two inviting open doors to other rooms, the way the whole family are looking at the dog (of course!) as it eyes up the tray of tea. Perhaps the dog is in fact the conversation piece of the family and life revolves around him the way the painting does. Is it the artist's family? An excellent example of Cundall's work and life with a dog.
